"I think Donald Trump does have a problem sometimes because he's denied so much about establishment statistics, that when something actually looks like unemployment you can ride on that, and all of the sudden he turns around and says 'well the Bureau of Labor Statistics is reporting that.' It just doesn't ring true for a lot of people because so much of what he says is home cooked," Miringoff, the director of the Marist Poll, told Hill.TV's Joe Concha on "What America's Thinking."

Trump has repeatedly touted official statistics on the economy under his administration, often taking credit for economic growth. But, while the economy began its climb under the Obama administration, Trump often pointed to the numbers as misleading and not accurate.

Last week Trump on Twitter celebrated unemployment hitting a 49 year low.

Republican pollster Ed Goeas said in an interview that aired Wednesday on Hill.TV's "What America's Thinking" that more people would approve of President Trump's proposed border wall if it was prioritized in high crime areas.
